'Lo all.

I got a copy of PKT structs that I devised from the FTS-0001.TXT
document, and it appears as if they're totally and completely useless,
and that I've been modifying my program in vain for the last several
days :<

Here are the structs I have;

======
Type
  PacketHeader = Record
    origNode   : Word; (* of packet, not of messages in packet *)
    destNode   : Word; (* of packet, not of messages in packet *)
    year       : Word; (* of packet creation, e.g. 1986 *)
    month      : Word; (* of packet creation, 0-11 for Jan-Dec *)
    day        : Word; (* of packet creation, 1-31 *)
    hour       : Word; (* of packet creation, 0-23 *)
    minute     : Word; (* of packet creation, 0-59 *)
    second     : Word; (* of packet creation, 0-59 *)
    baud       : Word; (* max baud rate of orig and dest, 0=SEA *)
    PacketType : Word; (* old type-1 packets now obsolete *)
    origNet    : Word; (* of packet, not of messages in packet *)
    destNet    : Word; (* of packet, not of messages in packet *)
    prodCode   : Word; (* 0 for Fido, write to FTSC for others *)
    serialNo   : Word; (* binary serial number (otherwise null)*)
    password   : Array[1..8] of Byte; (* session password  (otherwise null) *)
    origZone   : Word; (* zone of pkt sender (otherwise null)  *)
    destZone   : Word; (* zone of pkt receiver (otherwise null)*)
    fill       : Array[1..20] of Byte;
  end;

  Attrib_Flags =
  (
    Private               ,
    Crash                 ,
    Recd                  ,
    Sent                  ,
    FileAttached          ,
    InTransit             ,
    Orphan                ,
    KillSent              ,
    Local                 ,
    HoldForPickup         ,
    unused                ,
    FileRequest           ,
    ReturnReceiptRequest  ,
    IsReturnReceipt       ,
    AuditRequest          ,
    FileUpdateReq
  );

  PakdMessage = Record
    origNode     : Word;     (* of message *)
    destNode     : Word;     (* of message *)
    origNet      : Word;     (* of message *)
    destNet      : Word;     (* of message *)
    AttributeWord: Set of Attrib_Flags;
    cost         : Word;     (* in lowest unit of originator's
                                currency *)
    DateTime     : Array [1..20] of Byte; (* message body was last edited *)
  end;

I just grabbed PKTVIEW, which came with a program called Soupgate (I
didn't want Soupgate, only PKTVIEW :> ).

Here's what it came up with (PKT header only) for a WORKING PKT
generated by Squish/2 v1.11;

653ae921.pkt:
Detected Type 2+ packet
--- PACKET HEADER ---
Packet version        : 2
Capability word       : 0001
Capability validation : 0100
Product code          : 0.122
Product revision      : 1.11
Product specific info : 544B5058
Date and time         : 1998-11-19 00:37:22
Originating zone      : 1
Originating net       : 229
Originating node      : 604
Originating point     : 0
Destination zone      : 1
Destination net       : 229
Destination node      : 600
Destination point     : 0
Auxiliary net         : 229
Baudrate              : 0
Password              : ********

(Nothing but the PW altered) and here's what it detected for *MY* PKT;

00000000.PKT:
Detected Type 2 packet
--- PACKET HEADER ---
Packet version        : 2
Capability word       : 0000
Capability validation : 0000
Product code          : 0.0
Product revision      : 0.0
Product specific info : 00000000
Date and time         : 1998-12-24 20:49:10
Originating zone      : (0)
Originating net       : 229
Originating node      : 604
Originating point     : (n/a)
Destination zone      : (1)
Destination net       : 229
Destination node      : 604
Destination point     : (n/a)
Auxiliary net         : 229
Baudrate              : 0
Password              :

What the second one SHOULD be, is a PKT from 1:229/604.1 to 1:229/604.0,
but Squish sees it as a bad PKT, and throws it away.

So - does anyone have any structs for creating PKT2+ PKT's?

Please! Anything! I'm on the verge of pulling out my hair here! :<
